also if i really wanted to throw a grenade into the comment section, i would have gone more than just "prudie beefed it, the answer of ~go and nurture the feelings of your friends abandoning you~ is bad advice my dudes"
i would have thrown in the grenade to the comment section of "so, being a male-male couple and also dripping with disdain for those who have kids... have you considered your levels of picked-up-from-society-around-you misogyny lately? may be time for a detox there"
ah the joy of reading advice columns to boo at the ref when he makes bad calls
prudie whiffed it hard with his response to a letter writer whining about how his friends were all ruining their lives having kids and he has no empathy for them. i'm also childfree and not maternal but the dude was dripping with contempt and prudie's answer was to go 'nurture those feelings'. fuckoff with that. you don't have to love kids, you just have to be happy your friends are happy.
i just realized i said the internet is a magical place and didn't include the link to the youtube video i was watching
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6ZeHHMlkJM
safe for work, does require sound, i don't think there's anything triggering in here, but also i don't want to give away the joke but trust me i am very very amused by it
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
so not only am i saying some broad, sweeping shit that i think is core to anakin skywalker/darth vader's mental state and being and thus characterization,
i am 100% saying that anakin knows the tatooine equivalent of catfish noodling. he WILL thrust his hand into that dune and he WILL pull out dinner and obi-wan WILL be horrified because OBI-WAN KENOBI IS BOUGIE, SOMETHING THAT LED TO THE CRITICAL BREAKDOWN IN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO,
also darth vader is country as hell and i'll fight anyone who disagrees
you cannot understand anakin skywalker unless you take into account that he is a slave boy and that he spent those crucial formative years in poverty, in a remote place, growing up *without*
he was someone fundamentally out of place in the jedi order's luxury
he was someone fundamentally out of place in the empire's luxury
it's his son who reminds him of who he is
his son who also grew up where he did.
it's important
and if that's not your cuppa
can i interest you in the one fanmix i've made that i'm genuinely proud of,
"That Slave Boy All Grown", a lightly southern gothic flavored #darthvader mix?
anyway i actually uploaded the mix for this terrible fanfiction
